Hey Trip, just a friendly suggestion, always strap on a dive knife to your calf, it a "fish" gets too curious you can always poke back if it gets a little close, and if you get tangled in something it's nice to have something to cut your way out with. Cheers Brutha!!
Man what a cool video Trip! It looked awfully pretty under there. Thanks for taking us along!
Oh man, imagine taking that on a kayak trip to a spring and doing a little spring diving. I bet that'd be awesome. Great video, Trip, looks like a real fun time!
I have a great dive knife made by Glock. They run about $60
Still doing your thing. Glad to see it man!
That's so cool I've always wanted to get one of those tanks.
Would be good for exploring or cleaning the bottom of a boat
That would be good to play with the kids though I need to get training.
Good vid
I’m going to get one
I snorkel there all the time. I have a water scooter too. I want to get one of these to go there
What is the dive watch you use? Thanks
That would be great for the springs!!
Or for checking/cleaning the underside of the boat or clearing a problem with the motor. Easier than snorkeling or holding your breath!
Absolutely!
It was actually pretty murky out there that day, normally it's crystal clear but yeah that little corner is loaded with marine life.
Idk that feels like an emergency tank for free diving!!
U might get 10 min of air at 15 ' ...
Sketch!
What’s the coupon code Trip do we get discount
where did u dive if u dont mine sharing that location i would like to take my kiddo there. Thank you
That Smaco looks like it would be fun to use enjoyed it
It really is pretty cool.....
“No clip,….some of you may not get that” 🔥 Scott or MSA?
Hey Trip. Wanted to see how you got back on board the Dory. Ladder on the side of the boat or what? Trying to decide how to set my Dory up for diving. Love your videos bud :)
I think I saw a ladder for the side in a video. My dad wants me to weld up a stainless steel gib boom for his pontoon. It would be cool to make one for a c dory. Maybe one that fits in a secure rod holder and can be stowed away.
Cool rig! Have you ever used a scuba tank to fill up a Paddleboard. The bote dock is fun but takes forever to fill up.
I use a walmart 800oo air mattress. Pump to pump up my paddleboard
hello. How to sink, I get down and the water floats back up
I have a pump for my pcp air guns it will work it can pump 4000 psi what kind of filter should I use to make the air I'm breathing more pure
Nice! There is some sort of filter on the line that they provided. Not sure exactly what it is though...
Where was this?
Past tense, no longer fire fighter ?
Is that the Jettis in Destin?
The firefighter logic is EXACTLY how i explained this to people that questioned my diving abilities. Lmao
Yep..... People still question here even though I'm also scuba certified. Keyboard ranger
Is it possible to fill the tank with the xiaomi portable compressor with 150psi?
No
Hey mr smith can you help me
I want buy just the regulator
Unfortunately i can't help with that... Sorry friend.
Beautuful😍👍👍❤🤗
Sure was!
Is the air coming out of the compressor safe?
No, there is some small oil residue, like on most compressors.
But what matters is the filter, that traps those residues. It has to be filled and checked correctly. After a week maintained filter, the air is fine
For those watching this video and others like it DO NOT use any scuba system unless you have been trained i am trained to 30m and i will say this trusting in any system even small simple ones will kill you if you do not know the rules on using them...infact you are safer diving on a single breath and no scuba if you are not trained, and that is not a joke.
Thanks for the warning ;)
@@TripSmithwhere can I get the training I’m planning on just diving below 20 feet for fun.
Use bottle to clean the CDory bottom.
What’s the name of your watch?
It's a Citizen Promaster dive watch. I have had the same watch for almost 20years now, and it's predecessor for a few years before that. With the base it pops into, you can download it to your computer to log your dives and add info, where, when, conditions, of your dive. I used mine mainly for logging HBO treatments and the patients info for the hospital I worked in. It worked well even at 6 atmospheres.
I just got 6.0 cu I might order this machine store won't fill my tank because I need to take their class to get certified pay almost same price as the machine
Yea, it pretty nice to be able to fill your own....
Trip, love watching your adventures, but this may a little too adventurous. Don't like seeing you out there SCUBA diving without a buddy!
It’s terrible but I enjoy it alone. Less variables to worry about. In certain circumstances
Man, I really need to switch hobbies......
Id get one for pools/shallow areas if they didn't cost so much $$ for what they are
What kind of goggles you got. I have some anti fog that fog up lol
I've been using Cressi masks for.... Many years now and love them.... Cressi low volume free diving mask 👍
@@TripSmith thx for getting back with me
@@treynelson9430 You betcha!
Interesting system. Might be good to check on an anchor or to use to free something wrapped around the prop, if it is a shaft driven boat, not one with an outboard. I accidentally clicked dislike, instead of like, because of computer lag, sorry Trip. I definitely like this video. Have a great week.
Haha no worries! You have a great one as well!
90s use to sell a system that sold for around 1000 dollars you didn't need to be certified just had wat h a 2 hour video
Do not dive alone
I'm "buoyant positive" because I have a few layers of dormant muscle.
Hehehe I hear ya Dante!
Not quite the same, since you will be going down in depth and can get dcs from diving.
Get back to your PAID course, 15 min is not enough time to get DCS
Stating the obvious here, but it's irresponsible to suggest to viewers that it is perfectly safe for a 15-years out-of-practice diver to dive alone using gear they haven't been trained on. Guy doesn't even know how big the cylinder is, (it's 2L). Best to take a SCUBA refresher course first. There's a vast difference between using a SCBA on land vs. going underwater using SCUBA. For one, with SCBA you don't have to worry about ascent embolisms, buoyancy control, nitrogen saturation, drowning if the equipment fails or you get disoriented, getting caught in tidal currents, etc. Overconfidence can hasten you down the pathway towards self-deletion.
Oh boy.... I spend quite a lot of time in the water and am at home in the water. I certainly understand the safety principle around SCUBA and the things you mentioned. I'm not overconfident, I have a respect for the water even though I am comfortable in that environment. Knowing the size of the tank is irrelevant... Knowing to keep an eye on your levels is the only thing that matters so you know you consumption rate and when to begin wrapping up your dive and being prepared for your decompression stop. My biggest risk was equipment failure I'd say.
Tank is 1.9 litre or 13 cu/ft. Unless your a certified scuba diver, forget it.
Scuba tanks come in many size, so the term “regularly size tank” is BS. (3,5,7,9,10.5,12.2,15 and 18 litres tanks)
The smaller filter isn’t quantity. For the price of the unit and compressor, you could have got open water certified and bought all the correct gear.
this actualy stinks-where in a hell i can get a buddy who wants to do the same thing as i???
this can be dangerous even in shallow water if you rise up to quickly. The air bubbles in your lungs can expand too fast if you rise to the surface too quickly. IMHO, you should be actively SCUBA certified even for this equipment.
Good thing I'm certified 👍. I think I mention in the video I'm certified and that others should.be as well
Please get some training, first. Nitro bubbles are no joke. Even at 2 atmosphere.
Seriously, diving is not a “home hack” recreation. You’re dealing with legitimately dangerous activities, especially by yourself.
He did mention that he was scuba certified from a long time ago. He also mentioned that his dive time was about 15 minutes so he probably knew he didn’t have to worry too much about decompression. So I don’t think the nitro bubble argument will go very far here. However, he’s diving solo which in my opinion is what should be critiqued if anything.
Luapple, your are right, somewhat...we have treated aquarium divers for DCS who on a daily basis did just such dives as this. Theirs were more daily feedings, entertainment purposes, mostly 30 minute dives, at 10 to 40 feet. Their diving schedule got changed. Where I don't think Trip is in any danger of that, kids can be a slightly different case.
@@Pscribbled people have got the bends in those conditions before. You say decompression, but you don’t have to be in deco to get the bends or more commonly called DCS.
Oh, nanny divers. At 15 min at max 20m, you won't accumulate enough nitrogen to get the bends - and it's totally safe unless you don't exhale while ascending.
Get back to the classroom 🤣😃, you seem to have forgotten a LOT about diving.
These are expensive.
You should never dive without a buddy.
There are actually courses in how to dive safely without a nanny.
It actually helps to dive more often that others that need a "buddy" that is often less experienced
@@pteppig PADI Self-Reliant Diver or SDI - Solo Diver are great courses, and every diver should be as self reliant as possible, with fully redundant equipment. So this courses would help you to sort many issues, especially if you are separated from your buddy. But there are situations when life can be saved only if you have a buddy. So safety first.

this is stupid been out on your own doing this no matter what you are doing in the water
I get it, slightly risky. My goal was to not have much time at the greater depths to limit nitrogen loading. I feel I was able to do that safely. If something would have gone wrong, I could have slowly surfaced without decompression issues. Plus, I was in a small area that I was familiar with.
@TripSmith even still as a scuba diver you know the no.1 rule no matter how deep you are going.
Would be good for shallow spearfishing
Spearfishing with any kind of breathing apparatus is a big NO-NO.
Bro ! You didn’t hoist your dive flag🤨
It's on the boat
@@shootingbricks8554 that means nothing! You must have a flag flying. If the flag is painted on the boat and the boat is under way does that mean you’re still diving? I’ve been diving for 36 years so please enlighten me.
@@shootingbricks8554 still waiting for your answer captain!
@@robertrusnak620there is an actual flag on the boat flying. Not painted on? U need to pay more attention when u tryna do arguments like that
@@VogricJon sure thing 🤣
Not much of a review
